An adversarial approach would also be interesting: People could open positions of "I would buy a right to use this copyright for $XYZ if it was released today"

So the copyright holder would have the option to EITHER cashout at any point (and consider the work/invested effort paid) OR counter-bid the sum of everyone to keep it.

Not sure about the implications, but it would encourage the most (economically) productive route


I'm a big proponent of compulsory licensing, which could certainly be limited to renewals so that creative control is still granted for some amount of time.


It's not about syntax, it's about quickly seeing language choices and verbosity of various constructs. There is a lot more information in a good example rather than a front page feature list.


Not sure if it applies here, also not a physicist, so just some food for thought:

I've noticed that many of humanity's models try to simplify things into neat models and that results in either - many specific models, each focusing on a specific macro-behaviour - one statistical model which basically describes the underlying process as non-deterministic

Couple that with performance debugging 101: Measuring the performance of a function changes the performance of a function

(Fudamentally because you can't see without interacting, and sometimes that interaction creates weird results)

And the conclusion is that Quantum Mechanics is a statistical model of a complex hot path which we're trying to measure, so of course it's going to be weird and hard to so.


The simplest explanation I've heard is that hyperthreading is like using two hands to keep the mouth always full(whereas with only one sometimes it remains idle). Once you can keep it always full, there's no use adding more hands.


POWER has 8-way SMT. More than 2-way SMT is definitely useful in some cases, but it does not exist on any x86 chip, so it doesn't matter if you try to use more threads in software. The hardware can only handle 2 per core.


Sakura-chan(catgirl skin) chasing my mouse feels offended. She is very energetic and relevant all day.


The specific method doesn't really matter, the base idea is to emerse your brain into what you want to learn, don't overdo it(take breaks, as many, as long as you need to), but definitely take every chance you can for repetition and reinforcement. To clarify a few ideas: - emerse(as opposed to passively observe) means that you actually do some mental work, if it feels too easy, you're underestimating yourself - overdoing/breaks: things will not stick as well if your mind becomes tired/foggy. Find the times you have the most excitement to learn. Also do your best to create that excitement(sleep, food, exercise, self-treats) - repetition & reinforcement: things sticks to your mind after repeated active exposure; recalling them is relatively easier than learning, so try to sprinkle throughout your day a question or two about things you've "already learned" and when you stop making mistakes you can start cycling out those questions, don't add new things faster than you can cycle them out

Perhaps you now see in what specific ways the practices you mentioned might help you. Be creative with them make it fun and enjoyable

P.S. your associative memory doesn't discriminate, try not to mix your learning with things you don't want to pop in your mind later e.g. learning another languager, baby screaming from the other room, stress, etc.


everything is discrete if you look fine enough. locally (household-fine) what you say would be nice, however the moment you start travelling informational nightmares would ensue due to human nature, nobody (in the grand scheme) would use the UTC time since local is more useful/frequent so all travellers need translators which can seamlessly translate local time to be as useful as current narional timezones are. such a translator would either be manually preprogrammed(cumbersome) or GPS, computer-powered which brings its own troubles. I think countrywide(as in european country or american state) is a pretty good scale tradedoff between ease of use and accuracy which is here to stay until GPS and computation are ubiquitous(as in every grandma has access to a smart device with GPS she can leave on all day and can be read as easily as a wall clock while having dough all over her hands) sorriez for wall of text :)


I'd like to give an answer from system theory ranther than biology: In order to create a system that works infinitely every single consumption must be met with an EQUAL production. If there is any imbalance it will add up and block a subsystem at some point in the future which will domino its way throughout until total failure.Think of a 1 byte production(memory leak), or a 1 transitor consumption(physical failure) over infinite time. Biology has a very throw things together and iterate what sticks style which is somewhat contrary to the fine craftsmanship required for perfect balance. For all we know, biology might have already taken a design decision which will never be able to be perfectly balanced out, or perhaps we're 3 steps away from engineering a fix.
